Well, today is a great day. The day after Thanksgiving and the Eagles still have a game to play. Not just any game mind you. No sir! Today’s opponent is Southlake Carroll. The defending State Champions, Southlake Carroll Dragons. OH man! It doesn’t get any better than this.
Are the Eagles underdogs for today's game? Doesn't happen often but I would say most folks see Abilene High as the decided underdogs. That is ok. All season long, it has been the Abilene Eagles with a target on their backs. Don’t get me wrong, it is still there. Now, you see, the Eagles also draw the bullseye on other people too.
Last season the Eagles met SLC in the playoffs at Texas Stadium. GOOD NIGHT NURSE! What a great game it was. Both teams undefeated going in knowing that only one would advance. SLC did the advancing, outscoring the Eagles that day last year 35-30. SLC went on to claim not only a State Championship but a mythical National Championship as well.
That was then and this is now. SLC and Abilene High both are undefeated, 12-0, and once again are on a collision course with each other. Tonight in Waco they will line up once again and battle for the right to advance.
Revenge may be on the mind of many Abilene High fans but that is not the motivation for the Abilene High Eagles. No? No! The Eagles, also known as the Band of Brothers, want to be the best and desire to win a State Championship of their own. IF they are to do that then tonight they have to defeat the Southlake Carroll Dragons. It will not be an easy task. How hard will it be? Well. The Dragons have only tasted defeat once in the last three years. The Katy Tigers took down the mighty Dragons in the championship game two years ago by a single point. Few teams have tested SLC since then. One of those were the Eagles last season. SLC had a couple of hard games after the Eagles in route to their state title.A win tonight would not assure the Eagles of a state title but a loss definitely ends the season.
GOOD FOOTBALL TO YOU Eagles as you give the effort to answer the challenge that stands in the way of your mission .
See you in Waco!
